Oh lose the bow in the mane as well. No fighting lion should be wearing a pretty bow.The last lion that wore a bow lived in OZ and he was known as a coward

Now, he was just confusing courage with wisdom. And in a similar vein, remember that Shaggy and Scooby are the smartest members of Mystery, Inc; they want to run away from the ghosts.

As for Clawdeen being pink, not much way of avoiding that altogether (you don't have an alternate color established for the character as you did with Swifty), but I do think a more muted tone would be good. And if I have a snarling, ferocious lioness after me, I don't think I'm going to run any slower simply because it's pink.

One thing that would be great is that When Clawdeen gets made they pack her with the the cat form of Catra, It would only make sense in that this is her steed and I dont see another opportunity where they could pack catras panthor form in. They could just resue the cringer buck with new head and repaint. In regards to Clawdeens bio, one of them refered to her being an alien being which guided Catra and taught her alot of her abilities, I wonder if they will bring that up. Anyway I'm excited to see the beast come to fruition.

I just think that Catra's panther-form should be more articulated; she's too dynamic of a character (especially in that form) to use the Cringer body. Of course, I wouldn't mind an articulated Catra cat body being used for a Cringer 2.0!

Not to sound like a creepy cheerleader for Uki, but it's nice to know there is at least one person on this forum who is extremely positive & friendly all the time. I don't think I could be that nice even if you paid me. If we ever give out awards for "forum member of the month", Uki gets my vote. -Mr. Shokoti

Actually, the prototype Clawdeen was more reddish-purple as seen in the UK Ladybird book "Spirit is kidnapped" where Clawdeen looks very similar to Panthor with her color and lack of mane more like a lioness.

I think Clawdeen could be pink without being sparkly pink. I wonder if a sort of violent Fuchsia color could convey Clawdeen's more sinister side ,which may not be pure evil, but the kind of violence that a feline is no stranger to. I mean, Cat's are murderers. I say that as a person that likes cats.

I think the biggest concern I have with Clawdeen is how she matches up with Catra. Will Clawdeen's harness / saddle favor the Silver armor or the Red outfit?

If there is a Cat form Catra, there should be some noticeable repetition and variation between Clawdeen and Cat form Catra. The color silver, the red, and pink need to lend and contribute to each other. We basically know what cat form Catra would translate into. I would hope that Clawdeen's color palette is drawn from these sources so that they all work well together.

Hoping the last quarter beast is Clawdeen over Arrow or Enarrow or whatever they are calling Bow's steed. While I would like ALL the POP horses, Clawdeen would be a welcomed mount for evil. New saddle with Horde logo, skip the ribbon and eyelashes, and coloured more towards Plundor than original toy. For one, I would take a straight up repaint of Battle Lion. Just make this happen already and show some love to the Great Rebellion.

It's all been done before. Everything to say has already been said. Do me a solid and pretend I posted something witty and original here

I agree. I would much prefer to see a steed for Catra, who is She-Ra's arch nemesis, whether it is Clawdeen OR Storm over a steed for She-Ra's side-kick.

I think it's important for the "leaders" of each faction to have a steed and Catra was the default leader of The Evil Horde (or at least She-Ra's "enemies") in some of the non-Filmation media. Also, Clawdeen or Storm are far more cost-effective to produce than the Mantisaur since the "bucks" for a cat and horse already exist.

And since Catra is all about cats, for me, it makes more sense for her to ride a giant lion into battle as opposed to a pegasus. As others have said, using the Battle-Cat buck and even the Battle-Lion head and mane with some new, Horde-appropriate armour, etc and Clawdeen would be a formidable looking beast to assist The Evil Horde.
